What does that mean? You have some blessing? Is Hashem lacking in some way? I still dont see how it means I am blessing You. The Hebrew is incorrect if we were saying I am blessing you. If you wanted to bless someone you would say Ani Mevarechecha or something like that. I think the word Baruch is a noun its a statement of fact that whoever it is we speak of is blessed.
Besides, even though it could possibly be translated that way it is illogical and erroneous to think that that is the correct definition. Hashem lacks nothing so how can you bless Him? You would have to be nuts to think Hashem needs your “blessing.” Define “You Hashem are blessed” in a way that makes sense.
